most are, but an example of a non turbo diesel would be old fords, pre powerstroke where non turbo.
I think some nissans and toyotas had NA diesels too.

Some 2 stroke detroit diesels have a blower and a turbo.
If they just have the blower they are considered "naturally aspirated" because they will not run without teh blower.
If you see a car ad that says "6-71 blower" it means that supercharger is off a detroit diesel 6-71 (6 cylinders, 71 CI each)

 

gotcha.... thats why the old fords didnt move. lol

 

I would LOVE to have a Cummins or any diesel for that matter in either a cherokee or comanche. Just to say "I have one and I drove it to work yesterday."

 

If i lived over in England i could get one for around $1,500 american....ive only seen two for sale EVER and there so rare its scary, they only made alittle over 500 for the states. If i could find one id trade my ranger for it in a second and add another cherokee to the collection...

 

ok, just to add my comments to the diesel cherokee question.

being in the uk these are quite common which has been stated, but they are a serious money pit. the engines are fine when they work but when they fail you are looking at a bill of £500+ (GBP) even before you have put your hand in your pocket.

the main problem with these especially the mk1 were that the individual heads had serious quality control issues as the castings were porus and failed around the 60k miles plus. the only answer is a top end strip down and new heads for alot of money. the mk 2 cherokee had better quality control but they still did suffer the same fate. Preventative maintenance was the key to survival in respect to regular oil and coolant changes with the coolant being a 50/50 mix.
other common failures are lazy hydraulic lifters which cause the pushrods to jump out of their seats. The turbo's were reliable but the spindle seal was known to wear allowing blow by. starter motors did fail but the failure rate is low.

having owned one they are great to drive and they return the low 30mpg rather than 45mpg as mentioned above. due to the constant failure of the engine the petrol worked out cheaper to keep on the road.

even if you get to buy one cheap to be honest it will be a false economy and a ticking time bomb for an engine failure

 

Dave Now that's the info I was lookin' for. Thank you.
Cheers

 

i have heard of people fitting the volkswagon T5 diesel into the engine bay but as normal it's not a straight fit as adaptor plates and engine mounts have to be fitted, plus there is the electrics to sort out.

the cummins lump is probably too tall in size even though it's got a good reputation. what ever you choose there will be fitment issues so unless your a diesel fanatic and don't mind some serious fab work then i'd stick to the petrol.

 

Thanks for all the info on the diesels over there. Theres almost none on them over here because there near non-exsistant. Ill just stick to looking for that 5-speed 4.0 instead of the diesel.
